Dr. Fouch of the US government's new coronavirus control team was vaccinated on the 22nd, saying that he "has tremendous confidence in the efficacy and safety of the vaccine" and called on the people to get the vaccine.
In the United States, two types of new coronavirus vaccines developed by major pharmaceutical company Pfizer and pharmaceutical company Moderna have begun to be vaccinated, and medical professionals and residents of facilities for the elderly are given priority inoculation.
On the 22nd, vaccination began at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the government's response team, was vaccinated publicly.
Dr. Fouch said, "I have tremendous confidence in the efficacy and safety of this vaccine. I would recommend vaccination to anyone who has the opportunity to receive the vaccine," and called on the public to get the vaccine.
The US government aims to provide a pervasive amount of vaccine to anyone who wants to be vaccinated by the end of June next year.
According to opinion polls such as ABC TV in the United States, 40% of the respondents said they would get the vaccine immediately, 44% said they would wait for a while, and 84% were willing to get the vaccine. However, 15% of the respondents answered that they would not be vaccinated, and increasing confidence in the vaccine is an issue.
